Sorry Math Is Hard. I voted for MIB. What a great movie.
 
Go mih!
 
Wow, very close race.
 
Does this help?

Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will chose the real Republican every time.

If it wasn't allowed, voters would be banned anyway!:devil:
 
Where's MiH? I think she deserves a nomination. :(
 
What do we do in the case of tie?

I boycott this vote due to it being rigged. I sense an uprising...
RISE UP AGAINST TYRANNICAL EVO AND HER CRONYISM (I sight this vote as an example).
 
  • #11
I voted only for MIH to make the results uneven. :devil:

Oh, no! Mud wrestling, dude! Where is your sense of priority? :rolleyes:

Nobahar, do you possibly mean "cite", as opposed to you seeing something? :devil:
 
  • #13
I'm so confused.

You'd better win, so you don't have to mud-wrestle yourself!
 
  • #15
I notice that all of the options belong to the PF Sisterhood. :-/
 
  • #16
Math is Hard > MIH

Not really. One of them is in drag.

I got caught up in the emotion of the moment.

I don't understand why Math Is Hard wasn't nominated. Mih and Math is hard wouldn't stand a chance against her.
 
  • #20
I voted for both of them. That way I can't lose. It's like contributing to both the Republicans and the Democrats like all the big corporations do.
 
  • #21
It's a dead heat now, who will win, which mentor shall reign supreme?

Well, crap!. If I'd known that she was in heat, I would have voted more often.
 
  • #23
She won't win. The votes go to him.

Why on Earth isn't Math Is hot nominated?
 
  • #26
Did MIH win?
 
  • #27
Do I have to change my name if MIH wins?

You could compromise with MI Hard
 
  • #29
huh... each name has 75% of the votes? that doesn't make sense.

You are allowed to vote for both choices. So far, each has received 27 votes with 36 total voters.

Shouldn't we consider |Math Is Hard\rangle + |MIH\rangle ?

Or

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|Math Is Hard\rangle + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|MIH\rangle ?

No hidden variables I guess.
 
  • #36
There should have been a couple of more choices in the polls. I'm kinda partial to the Hooper, and the Left-Coaster, too.

Oh, this could have caused a critical shift in votes!

I've been considering other polls that would be of major importance. favorite former Community Service award winning green wood nymph, favorite hot sauce guy from Maine, favorite hairy apelike, shelter dwelling artist...

"Major" on the level of "major award" in "A Christmas Story"? That's scary! Opening the crate, pulling the award out of the excelsior... it boggles the mind!

This poll is a perfect example of a spontaneous, unsolicited conspiracy. :biggrin:

It's completely fair, people that disagree with the choices show their objections by not voting.

I mean the outcome of the poll.

I've fixed it so that they don't affect the poll outcome. So all is fair, like in a reall poll. :biggrin:

I am suggesting that the voters are spontaneously conspiring to produce a tie vote.

I know I did! :biggrin:

The hek?! Answering this is harder than any of my finals combined! I hope I don't fail. Are there any lifelines here?

Ah, didn't consider degenerate voting.
 
  • #48
I voted for MIH, she doesn't seem complicated. :biggrin:
 
  • #49
Can I take a third option?

Wait until you get to know her better... :rolleyes:
